About our Bacon Score methodology
YouTube Video Description

This video highlights a 6-day land excursion to Xian and Beijing. This was the second part of a 15-day itinerary called “Classic China & the Coast.” We conducted tours visiting Xian's City Walls and Terracotta Warriors. In Beijing we toured the Temple of Heaven, Summer Palace, Tiananmen Square, Forbidden City and the Great Wall. We detail the hotels we stayed in and the meals we ate. Charlie and Jennifer Pryde have lived in The Villages for four years and in Central Florida for eighteen years. Our main activities in The Villages are biking, fitness parks, pickle ball, platform tennis, golf and swimming. We love to travel throughout Florida, the United States and internationally. Our Youtube channel’s focus is on promoting a physically active lifestyle for mature adults, but we will also indulge ourselves in a good restaurant, bakery or watering hole that we find during our travels.
